A twelve-piece collection of Wedgwood Jasperware, comprising items in pale blue, cobalt blue, and sage green. Each piece is crafted from matte, unglazed stoneware with sprigged bas-relief decoration in white. The decoration features various neoclassical scenes including cherubs, female figures in classical robes, horse-drawn chariots, and floral or grapevine swags. The collection includes a tall sage green bud vase with floral swags and classical figures, a teardrop-form pale blue bud vase decorated with a winged figure, and a cylindrical cobalt blue preserve jar with a notched metal lid. Further items include a large pale blue circular plate with a central motif of three cherubs and an oak leaf and acorn border, an oval lidded box, three round lidded trinket boxes of varying sizes, two low-profile candlesticks, and two small circular dishes or ashtrays. Bases bear impressed marks for WEDGWOOD and MADE IN ENGLAND, with various separate impressed numerals including 36, 6, and 69.
